Whistleblower
The Obama administration knowingly let in at least 16 admitted MS-13 gang
members who arrived at the U.S. as illegal immigrant teenagers in 2014, a
top senator said Wednesday, citing internal documents that showed the teens
were shipped to juvenile homes throughout the country.
Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, said a
whistleblower turned over Customs and Border Protection documents from 2014
detailing the 16 persons who were caught crossing the border.
“CBP apprehended them, knew they were MS-13 gang members, and they
processed and disbursed them into our communities,” Mr. Johnson, Wisconsin
Republican, said.
The gang members were part of the surge of UAC, or “unaccompanied alien
children,” as the government labels them, who overwhelmed the Obama
administration in 2014, leaving Homeland Security struggling to staunch the
flow from Central AmericaOfficials at the time said the children should be
treated as refugees fleeing horrific conditions back home — though security
analysts said the children were prime recruiting territory for gangs
already in the U.S.
Mr. Johnson said the image of UAC as little children is misleading. Out of
nearly 200,000 UAC apprehended between from 2012 to 2016, 68 percent were
ages 15, 16 or 17 — meaning older teens. The majority were also male,
making them targets for gang recruiting.
Mr. Johnson revealed the documents at a hearing on the dangers posed by MS-
13.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, the ranking Democrat on the committee, said she wants
to get rid of gangs, but criticized the release of the whistleblower
documents, saying it may have hurt active investigations or otherwise dented
efforts to get the gang members out of the country.
“I have concerns that these documents were released so quickly,” she said.
The UAC surge has long been suspected of providing a new pool of recruits
for MS-13 and other gangs in the U.S., though the actual numbers are unclear.
There have been a series of anecdotal reports, however, of UAC who were
placed into community schools and ended up taking part in violent gang
activities. | h******0 发帖数: 334 | | l****d 发帖数: 1593 | | r**********f 发帖数: 2808 | | f****g 发帖数: 23666 | 5 这个黑皮人渣总有一天会得到它应有的报应。
